Post Acute Withdrawal

Addiction withdrawal accompanies the disassociation with any addictive substance or behavior. From the acute fears and wild imaginings that accompany any unsuspected life threatening experience, to the calmness that is recovery, is a world of difference.

Addiction withdrawal, much like a drug addicts experience can and usually will accompany the recovery process. 

It is important to mention it because it can re-create the whole experience and throw an unsuspecting individual back into the anxiety posture and mindset that contributes to setting up asthma responses. 

Post Acute withdrawal for an addict of any sort is an emotional reliving of the addictive lifestyle. Anger outbursts are common. Harboring and stuffing resentments are also common.

Alcoholics refer to this phenomenon as a "Dry Drunk". Psychiatrists have any number of others terms and descriptions for it. Drug addicts refer to it as a flashback.

In either case where the addict is concerned it is merely a normal reaction to being off medications and or the adrenalin from the behaviours themselves.
